Zombies in the Mall

Went to the mall this weekend with Margi and Phoebe to do some holiday shopping. I wore a heaving coat, big scarf and big ski hat so that no one would see I was a zombie, not because I'm ashamed of who I am but because I really didn't anyone hassling the girls. I picked up a few presents for my Mom.

As we were walking around, Phoebe had the great idea of having a bunch of us chip in on little presents for the Haunted House gang, but we really didn't see anything that jumped out (we did see some plastic glow in the dark zombies, but they were really zombified, old school zombies and I don't think most of the kids would appreciate the irony).

We need some ideas. Were thinking small and relatively inexpensive. Can any of you help?

Hey tommy1 idk if it snows over there,but if it didnt ten you could have a snow day! everyone could go outside and play!or maybe a picture of evryone at the haunted house and label it your Family. and give one out to eveyone.---------lids

duh, make your own! affordable and you can personalize them. my brothers cub scout den made some really cool snowman candleholders out of votives sharpie and metal screens. or you could make santa ornaments out of tongue depressors. whatever. btw, you should totally set up a christmas tree at the haunted house!!! spread the joy! happy holidays!

You could always try and make something. That's what I always do for my friends, and that way it's more personal than going out and buying something. But make sure, the gifts do apply to the ones you are giving it to. Cd's are always a good option.

Give Tak your cat... maybe that will cheer HIM up. And for the others... maybe you could get them ... WEBKINZ! You know, those stuffed animal toys with the computer codes. You wouldn't really need them to go on the site, but the dolls would work!Then ask Pheebs to rock-ify them. Give em' Van Halen t-shirts!

Or make them.. VOODOO DOLLS OF THEMSELVES! That would work! Stick it to those people who still might believe that voodoo thing.

I really like the picture of all of you in front of the haunted house witha frame that says "family" idea. sweet simple and inexpensive and has a great value to everyone. or you can make everyone stockings and just put like little trinkets and things of that nature in them.

i was reading the other comments and i like the decorate the house idea. buy them stockings with simple stuffer it wouldn't be them much when everyone pitches in and it's what you wanted right? something kinda' small? well then hey no having to wrap gifts. idk you think of something

holiday shopping is always a challenge! recently i made some of my friends yarn dolls that looked like them (of course, they were all girls. guys obviously prefer action figures) and they turned out pretty good. Everyone appreciates the effort of a homemade gift, even if it does turn out not as planned. And most of the time they are less costly.

Even so, it's the thought that really counts!

(also, don't be going into any banks dressed like that!! even if it is cold.)

Hey, I'm not sure...but i know that everyone feels liked and special when they get a card especially if you put effort into making one. Or...or, or you could make'em...FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS! ^_^I just raised money for the Humane Society by selling Friendship Bracelets..you make them with embroidery thread in tight knots and they turn out to make a cool design diagonal stripes (especially when the colours you pick have contrast or slight different shades). Hope that helps a bit :)

I think the idea for the family photo thing is really nice, so everyone can feel part of that horde :P Or maybe you could get the same braclet for everyone, or the kind of thing you'd get as part of a club. Oooh!! :O or how about some cheap disco lights for the hall! That'd be aweesome!! Happy christmas :)

me and my friends always give each other broken CDs that we customize, last year i got a My Chemical Romance CD with my name grafidied on it. I gave my two best friends two halfes of my broken p!nk Cd with their names and half of mine on each. happy holidys every one! <3

I don't know if this would work, but my friend always makes mix music for her friends for Christmas. It could work, since you metioned everyone in the house listening to different types of music. Or you can draw something, that's what I always do. ^^;

The others don't dance much right? Anyway,you should buy them concert tickets. People wouldn't care how they look if all they're doing is bobbing their heads and things like that. Everyone could love it, and if they don't at least they're getting out more.forever his,Sariah-Jane

i second the tree idea. you should get everyone santa hats! who doesnt want a santa hat? i juust went to new york upnear canada, i got my friends the randomnest gifts ever. but they really desribe their personailty. i made a couple gifts also.

Hey, I know I haven't posted here before but I have a simple idea, it's totally free and you only need yourself for it. You can give hugs. Hugs are free, and who doesn't like a hug? It may make some people feel better if they're having a bad day.

The greatest gift is one from the heart. Remember, it's the thought that counts. I'm sure the DB's (I'm sorry, I don't feel comfortable saying "zombies") will be happy with anything. Try like something that will be valuable to the entire group. Like an oath that you all sign or a photo and frame that you all can sign. It's the best way to stick together. And, if all else fails go check out the $1 section at Target.
